"Why are you telling me this...?"
After a moment of silence, Berry pulled her thoughts together, her gaze falling on Stott, who had walked over and sat on the bed.
Berry chose to temporarily believe this information.
Although Night City was full of lies, Stott obviously had no need to deceive her.
Therefore, the intelligence she provided was highly credible.
But why?
Corporations were all self-serving; Berry didn't believe the other party would tell her information simply because of their relationship with Arno.
The other party must have something more to say.
"There's an old Eastern saying: 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.'"
"Simply put, we and Biotechnica have, well, a little 'commercial competition' conflict."
Stott smoked, choosing a relatively elegant term.
"That can of solution in your hand, we learned from intelligence that Biotechnica's people call it 'compound number four'."
"It's an interesting product. As for its specific effects, I think you've already witnessed them."
"Turning people into monsters, is that what you mean?"
As Berry spoke, she recalled the figure who rampaged through the bar that day, and a chill ran down her spine.
Could humans really turn into such blasphemous monsters?
"Hmm, monsters? We prefer to call them Bio Organic Weapons."
"Coincidentally, we find this thing very interesting. Unfortunately, the samples we obtained are completely unusable; we can't even figure out how it works. No wonder Biotechnica dares to conduct extensive human trials—they're certain these samples can't be utilized."
"You want me to help you get the original sample of this thing? Or the scientists who developed it?"
Seeing Stott's approving look towards "compound number four," Berry's expression was serious.
This person wouldn't be trying to make her work for Militech, helping them get Biotechnica's secrets, would she?
"Hmm, no, of course not. You don't have that capability."
But upon hearing Berry's words, Stott directly and decisively denied it.
"Only another corporation can deal with a corporation."
"You lot, you're not even worth a look."
"Heh."
Berry snorted coldly.
Although what the other party said was true, saying it so impolitely was still irritating.
"What we need is for you to cause enough trouble for Biotechnica. From your battle against the test subjects, you still have some value, enough for the corporation to invest in you."
"Heh, alright, but I can't thank you."
Listening to the other party's impolite words, Berry felt annoyed.
These guys were no different from Biotechnica; the only difference was that Biotechnica might not even be able to defeat Militech.
After all, unlike Biotechnica, Militech started out in the arms industry.
Even the entire defense systems of many small countries were under Militech's control.
Such a behemoth could only be rivaled by another giant corporate overlord like Arasaka Corporation...
"If there's any news of a Biotechnica laboratory, we'll let you know."
